Liu Xiaochuan tilted his head, laughed twice, and beckoned Xie Yu to say, "Brother, come over and take a look, see what this thing is." As he spoke, he snatched the sachet, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "It's weird, I said, is the little woman moved, and Tete left this to pass on to your brother." ”

Chu Dapeng pushed Liu Xiaochuan and said, "Don't talk nonsense. He snatched the sachet over, looked at it intently, and pointed, "Look, the buckle on the belt is broken, and the sachet was left behind." ”

Xie Yu knocked on Liu Xiaochuan's head, "If there is no bolt in the mouth, you will know that there is no nonsense, and if you go back to spread the reputation of others, we are not clean." ”

Liu Xiaochuan muttered: "What, what, the master just said that." He lowered his head again and laughed.

Xie Yuqian squinted at Liu Xiaochuan and said, "What are you holding back?"

Liu Xiaochuan smiled evilly: "Master, I can pinch and calculate, I can see at a glance that the little woman is not a peaceful person, she is full of commotion in her bones, Xu is Lin Lao Er, so she makes the beauty lonely." ”

Chu Dapeng nodded at Liu Xiaochuan with a smile and said, "You, this mouth is so cheap." ”

Liu Xiaochuan was unconvinced: "Grandpa has read countless people, what mother hasn't seen it?" If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. ”

Xie Yu said: "How to bet?" ”

Liu Xiaochuan said: "She lost the sachet, she has to come to find it, let's not return her, throw a man's purse there, if it is a serious woman, she will definitely not look at it, or see the purse to send the little maid to find the owner, or think that people entertain her, and there is a cry of chastity." But if it's such a coquettish, thinking that it is the master who exchanges tokens with her, I don't know how to rejoice in my heart. Let's just watch from the sidelines. The lord bet that she was so beautiful that she panicked, who won the banquet in the evening and invited the banquet building for five taels of silver. ”

Chu Dapeng rolled his eyes and said: "Your mind can be used to study and run errands, your old man has to burn high incense for the eighth generation of his ancestors." He shook his head and left.

Xie Yu sneered: "Look, I ridiculed you?" ”

Liu Xiaochuan snorted, turned around, and took out a purse from his hand like a trick, and said with a smile: "Fake Taoism, as if it wasn't him who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled before." Just now, the master was so smooth, and he picked his purse unconsciously, and he will try this little girl later. ”

Xie Yuxu pointed at Liu Xiaochuan and laughed, and then hesitated: "This is not very good, let Chu Laosi know"

Liu Xiaochuan said: "Why is it bad? Why don't you want him to throw a purse in the garden? If you lose something, any maid in the garden can pick it up, why can't the little woman pick it up? Quick, quick, hurry up and put this purse over. ”

Xie Yu also wanted to see the excitement, but when he heard Liu Xiaochuan say this, he immediately came to his senses and quietly threw the purse on the verandah.

Anyway, Tan went back to the room, and when he changed his clothes, the maid Luluo said: "Second grandma, why is the sachet that I put out this morning gone?" ”

Tan Shi looked down, and sure enough, his waist was empty, only a jasper pendant with a tassel hanging down, and he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly ordered: "Help me find it, that sachet is a thing in the palace, it is extremely rare." Thinking that he had just gone out, he was left behind, so he hurriedly went out to look for it, and found all the way to the small garden, and saw something on the verandah in front of him in the distance.

Tan stepped forward to take a look, only to see a peacock blue Ruyi woven gold purse, square, inlaid with red coral wrapped with gold silk buckles, exquisite and abnormal, by no means ordinary rich and noble people, open and pour out, only to see a few pieces of scattered silver, a small enamel bottle containing snow Jindan, a peace charm from the temple, the charm unfolded, only to see the three words "Chu Dapeng" falling on it, Tan's heart beat like a beat, and quickly covered the charm to look around, only to see quietly, only the branches and flower shadows swayed in the wind.

Tan was holding a purse in his hand, but his heart was like a boiling soup, and he said secretly: "I often heard that the sons of Chu, Xie, and Liu grew up with Lin Jinlou since childhood, and their love is extraordinary. It's a pity that I didn't know that he was Chu Dapeng himself at the time, otherwise it would be good to talk a few more words...... Did he leave this purse on purpose, or did he accidentally drop it? If he didn't mean to, but if he picked up my sachet before, he intended to use his place here to exchange it with me, then, that, that's really ......" Thinking of this, his face became hotter and hotter, and his heart softened when he held the purse, and he was shy for a while, and he couldn't help but be proud for a while.

Suddenly heard the sound of laughter, only to see Lingqing and Xue Ning, holding a bottle in their hands from not far away, hurriedly hiding the purse in the sleeve, waiting for the person to leave, and then took out the purse and looked at it, and said secretly: "I looked at the history of the outside world before, and the talented and beautiful people were all privately determined for life because of the purse, jade pendant, sachet, and handkerchief. Unexpectedly, Chu Gongzi is also such an elegant person who knows and knows. He is a gentleman's family, and he is my uncle's friend, and he admires me but is not easy to say, so he can only use his purse to convey his feelings. My sachet is obviously for him to pick up, but there is no chance in this life, my sachet should be given to him to repay his lovesickness. While thinking about it and being sentimental, he chanted a sentence "The bonus is easy to decay like Langyi, and the water flow is infinitely like a sorrow", and he chanted a sentence "Returning the pearl to tears, hating not to meet when he is not married", looked around and looked for it, but did not see Chu Dapeng's figure, and his heart was inevitably disappointed, so he took the purse and shook it.

Liu Xiaochuan and Xie Yu both hid not far away and watched, and when they saw Tan left, Xie Yu smacked his lips and said: "I really let you expect it, look at the lingering meaning on her face, see the maid and hide her purse, and what 'hate to meet when you are not married', I think it is a thought." ”

Liu Xiaochuan said with a smile: "Master, I am like a god, I didn't expect that Lin Lao Er really found a merry little lady." "The two of you, you say a word to me, don't mention it for the time being.

However, it was said that the Tan family often dressed up and went to the small garden, and Chu Dapeng and others only stayed in the courtyard because they repaired the house and were afraid of the female relatives in the house. Liu Xiaochuan and Xie Yu saw Tan from the door or window, and the two of them either coughed loudly, or squeezed each other's eyebrows, and so on. Chu Dapeng didn't know the inside story, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Later, because of recruiting small servants to come in and plant flowers and plants, change tiles and paint walls, etc., the Tan family did not go. Liu Xiaochuan and Xie Yu are just rich sons who are idle and tricky, but they don't know that this incident will lay a storm for the future.

However, it is said that Lin Jinlou is getting busier and busier in the capital, and he often does not see anyone in the town. When Xianglan was healed from the injury on her hand, she ordered someone to put the things used in painting in order, chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha in the town, painting and writing, and occasionally playing with the suqin. In the past few days, she painted a few more paintings, filled them in a brocade tube, and said to the painting fan: "Go and call Xiao Longan." ”

Longan was in front of a black dog raised by Lin Jinlou with a few small servants, this dog was fierce and abnormal, and his physique was strong, which won Lin Jinlou's favor and ordered someone to feed him carefully. Gui Yuan heard the painting fan calling him under the corridor, so he hurriedly washed his hands and walked over, and when he saw the painting fan, he said in a stacked voice: "Sister painting fan, what is the matter with calling me?" ”

The fan said, "It's grandma who called you." ”

Gui Yuan hurriedly followed the painting fan and walked inside, and said: "Good sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become beautiful again." ”

The painting fan spat and said, "Which is your good sister, don't scream." ”

Gui Yuan smiled and said, "You are younger than me, don't call you sister, do you call you sister?" I got a lot of new things on the street yesterday, and if you call me 'good brother' twice, I'll show you." ”

The fan said: "Phew, who wants to call you ......"

As he was saying that he had arrived at the door, Gui Yuan immediately changed his complexion, calmed his breath, lowered his eyebrows, gently walked into the courtyard, his eyes were not random, he lowered his head to the door, painted a fan and opened the curtain, and Gui Yuan swept away, only to see Xianglan sitting in the Ming Hall, and knelt down and said, "Please grandma Qianqiu." ”

Xianglan said: "There is an errand for you to do, you take these two calligraphy and paintings, first go to frame a frame, and then find a study room four treasures shop to sell, a piece of at least ten taels of silver, the money sold more will go to the shopkeeper, this matter is not enough to say to others, this is done by you, I will reward you." ”

Xiao Juan handed the brocade tube forward.

Gui Yuanxin said: "A piece of broken paper will be sold for ten taels, and the unjust head will buy it." But he promised again and again, and took the brocade with both hands. Xianglan ordered Xiaojuan to take two taels of silver and longan to frame the painting, and grabbed a lot of money and a plate of fruit cakes with him.

When he was about to go out, Gui Yuan heard Xiao Juan say: "Grandma has worked so hard to paint, how can she take it out and sell it, we don't lack this money." ”

Xianglan said softly: "No matter how much silver there is, it's not mine, and only when you have the silver in your hand can you be sure......"

Gui Yuan didn't dare to listen anymore, hurriedly walked out, and said secretly: "Uncle has a few shops in the capital, but I don't know if there are any paintings for sale." This is the first time my grandmother has dealt with me, so I must do it beautifully. ”

In front of the door, it happened that Lin Jinlou came back from outside, Gui Yuan hurriedly flashed to the side, held his breath, bent down to salute, Lin Jinlou stepped in, swept Gui Yuan from the corner of his eyes, and asked, "What are you holding in your arms?" ”

Gui Yuan said: "This is given by grandma." ”

When Lin Jinlou heard this, he became interested: "Take it to the master." ”

Gui Yuan hurriedly presented the brocade tube, Lin Jinlou opened the lid, only to see that there were two paintings that had not yet been framed neatly rolled inside, and he took out one, only to see the painting in the courtyard of the deep house, a cluster of peonies planted in the corner of the wall, there was a maid with a double hair in her hand holding a fan in the courtyard fluttering butterflies, beautiful and elegant, extremely expressive, and the inscription of the painting reads "Lanxiang Jushi". Lin Jinlou took out another one, only to see a black cat painted on it, lying on an embroidered screen, his eyes were blazing and lifelike, and the words "Lanxiang Jushi" were still written on the letter.

Lin Jinlou asked Gui Yuan, "What is this painting for?" ”

Gui Yuan complained bitterly in his heart, although Xianglan told him not to talk to others, but Lin Jinlou he never dared to hide it, so he said honestly: "Grandma gave it to me, let the small one find a shop and sell it." After speaking, he quietly glanced up. RS
